HOUSE.
The order of unregistered bu siness having
been reached, Mr.. Jones, who started the
reaction yesterday by moving to reco nsider
the motion by which the rules were ado pied,
asked permission to Withdraw the motion.
Mr.. Williams Of Burleigh-I object. The mo-
tiOn is In possession Of the house and out Of the
control of the mover.
Mr.. Fletcher move to lay the motion to re-
consider on the table.
Seconded. Adams demanded the ayes and
nays All being called, there were ayes 81
and nays 10, so the motion was laid upon
the table and the extent of the break in the
combination developed. Stewart of Fall
River rose at once and rendered his resigna-
ton as chairman of the railroad committee.
This was in accordance with the agreement
reached this morning, by which the South
ern deserters returned to their allegiance.
He said he did so in the interest of harmony.
Williams of Burleigh hoped the house would
not accept the resignation of the gentlemsn
from Fall River. He thought the vote just
taken was conclusive evidence that there
would be no more trouble, and the house
could not afford TO lose from so important q
position a gentleman of.such a high order of
patriotism. Fletcher was glad to receive as
surances from the gentleman from Burleigh
that peace was to be permanent. His slumt
Ders would now be easier. He hoped all
would now bend their energies to the work
for which they were sent here. He hailed
with delight the dawn of peace. Adams ex-
tain Stewart in his present position in spite
OF his effort TO resign Mr.. Dodds moved that
the resignation of Stewart be not accepted.
Seconded by half a dozen members
Stewart-This Is . matter in which ! am re-
ss%ponsible to the speaker. ! tender my resigna-
tlon TO the speaker and not TO the house.
The Speaker-And / accept 1t.
WIliams-Then / move that Stewart OF Fau
River be elected by the house chairman OF the
committee on railroads. The house has full
control OF Its own committees, and should not
nes:nit so able q chairman to 60 into voluntary
retirement.
Mr.. Fletcher moved to adjourn Pending
the call of the roll, Williams of Burleigh de-
handed a call of the house, and the demand
was seconded and the sergeant-at-arms was
ordered to close the door. Aikens moved
that further proceedings under the call be
dispensed with, which motion prevailed, and
the house adjourned
